How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
This is my 76 year old father's current favorite band. "Remember when you played that Mandolin Orange song for me, well I found them on UA-cam. I watched the Small Office Concert. I am listening to all their music......"
Listening to this on my sister’s birthday who passed away last year at 53 I listened to this song as i held her liveless hand while we waited for the funeral parlor to pick her up. Happy birthday sis,glad you could spend this one with mom. 😢
Condolences my friend. I lost my beloved Lisa one year ago this month. She was only 55 years old. I never got to say goodbye to her. I hope we get to see our loved ones again in heaven. Now I'm crying tears of sorrow and loss. So unfair is this life
Yes there song ships sail away made me cry while cruising through a park not because of sadness but tears of hearing beautiful music and seeing God's beautiful nature
I'm just a simple boy, with 23 years old. I'm from a small town in the center of Brazil, and when I was a child my dream were to travel the world. I thought that small town were to litlle for my dreams, but I was completely wrong. Today I hv visited some countries, but the place that I feel safe its always gonna be that litlle town. So, appreciate the litlle things... They are the most important things in the world.
You know, I have to agree with you that this just might be number one. I love what Andrew and Emily have brought together in this quiet but amazingly powerful set. To spread the kudos, Joan Shelley has a great concert as well!
To NPR: massive thanks for hosting one of my all time favorite bands (and so many others), Tiny Desk deserves a spot on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. To Mandolin Orange: massive thanks for your beautiful music over the years. There's much melancholy in much of what you do, but also an unyielding feeling that things - somehow - will work out. Hard to explain but that's my gut feeling every time I hear your music.
The warmth of the music, harmonies and the sheer joy they show playing together, makes you feel you are watching something magical unfold. One of the finest acts around today, long may they continue.
Mad credit goes to the sound engineer on this (and many other) Tiny Desk recording. They're all good but this one is especially exquisite - that person deserves a raise on the strength of this recording alone.
Golden embers really hit me hard my mother died in my arms five years ago what a really beautiful touching song made me think how great a woman my mother was I will never forget her and what she gave to me in her wisdom thanks for the great song plus I'm from NC as you guys are that makes it all the better
I'm pretty sure this is written for the guy's mother that passed away - I know one of his songs is dedicated to that time bc he told the story at their concert I saw - they are incredibly talented & amazing live.
Rewatching / listening for the gazillionth time, and my goodness, this is probably one of the best NPR performances I've yet seen. This couple are so attuned to one another, like two magnets, and their playing and harmonies are sublime.... Gorgeous, gorgeous music ❤❤❤
I've watched around a hundred of these Tiny Desk Concerts and this one, the simplest so far, has moved me to tears. Maybe being 76 years old has something to do with that. Inspirational performers who make me impatient to get back into my studio writing, playing and recording.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is knocking it out of the park! I think this is exactly what NPR hoped for when they started the Tiny Desk Concert series. Sweet!
Thank you to those at NPR and their TIny Desk Concert series for continuing to be my best follow. Steadily opening my music universe to new and wonderful music. I’m astounded that they’ve had 6 albums and I’ve never heard them. Going to enjoy acquiring their stuff to add another layer to my library.
Can't remember exactly how i subbed, but can't put it better than you have. NPR and their Tiny Desk Concert is such an amazing portal into new artists and genres.
@@nmd14723 they felt like when they were starting out, they just picked a random name with no meaning or context for them. Now that they are seasoned, they wanted a name with personal significance.
I was whistling "Wildire" while I did the dishes last night and it took me forty minutes to remember this band's name. I've been listening to them all day.
Their music always reminds me of home. Staring up at the stars on a summers night, campfire going in the background, cicadas louder than ever. Even as I lie here miles and miles from home, I can still feel the grass between my toes and smell the smokey air.
I've seen this band live twice and always plan to see them again. Their music is just so warm and ethereal, I am so happy NPR finally gave them a Tiny Desk. Their music is soothing on a whole other level.
Not sure a 52-year-old father of 3 adult children is their target demographic, but this may be one of the most relaxing breaths of fresh air I've felt in a while. And I do not like when artists, male or female, or judged by their looks, nor use them to sell their songs. So this isn't about looks. But how did she know at 1:38 to open her eyes, and be staring right into the lens...into our souls...and then immediately glance away? It had a hauntingly beautiful effect on the performance.
I lost my mom at the end of last year. But my aunt has really been my mother figure, raised me, and three other generations. I miss my mom but this first song reminds of how unfathomably heartbroken I will be when my aunt passes to the other side. Much love to all the old hens.
"It should have been different It could have been easy But pride has a way of holding too firm to history And it burns like wildfire" Those lyrics hit! 12:00
As a southern boy, it's comes across as being mighty kind of them to ascribe it to pride. Writing it off as pride is being generous for many of the folks I've known..
I keep on coming back to this. This duo is in such a perfect sync and harmony, I've never heard anything like it before. AND, I want to point out what a good mic selection this was. It's incredibly balanced, complimenting the balanced duo. I want more of this!!!
I don't think you can truly understand how masterfully this is produced until you listen to most of these bands live elsewhere. I've watched a ton of their concerts and I always find myself back at NPR. A ton of talent behind that camera.
I’m on my Folk and Bluegrass fix during another quarantine during this pandemic...Mandolin Orange got me hooked to Wildfire years ago and been a fan ever since.
I'd had been watching them far a while when this happened. Such a great choice for tiny desk. These two have created a few song that transcended themselves and we who listened. They wove an emotional rope into the past and pulled into now and tossed it into the future tug of war that still is and will continue. The futility of grieving, the hope that travels on, the stupidity of war and hatred all riding on the melody strings that plays within us all.
I'm not ashamed to say I've been here a many times to listen and watch these two create pure beauty that I will treasure until my ears cannot hear anymore and even then, my memory will play these songs over and over again. 💛 It's just too f**kin good.
This isn't the kind of thing that I would normally listen to but these two are something special. I have been listening to their albums on Apple Music. The music really connects.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG --GOLDEN EMBERS -I LOVE THE FIDDLE IN THIS SONG !!!! WHAT A TREAT TO LISTEN TO HER PLAY THE FIDDLE !!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG !!!!!!
Just found these guys today. Listening to their studio recordings is one thing but hearing them live in a stripped down setting makes it so much better. I can feel their connection, drawing out words the same way and the dynamics are so balanced. For some reason it's almost like they're trying not to cover each other up by being too loud. The result is perfect balance.
I love the sound of these two, but also their message and attitude that is consistent in their performances. They seem humble in a genuine way. Like they really love what they do.
In 'The Wolves' the women they sing about is the Statue of Liberty and how the doors of America are being closed to people. Fantastic song writing for troubled times.
Never commented before but felt compelled to express the wonder the first song makes run through my being when I hear it, it’s a simply beautiful piece of music! Life would be wrong without stuff like this!
This beautiful music folks! Nothing fancy nothing over the top no guitar solos and intricate drum presentations.. No crazy vocal exercises... Just a nice guitar strum a pure fiddle and a duo in perfect harmony. Doesn't get much more perfect that that!
My husband and I played as a duo, and these two exemplify the beauty of two voices and two instruments intertwined. My favorite duo since Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. And honestly, I'm a fool for the fiddle.
Listening to these guys is like that feeling you get after hiking up a giant mountain, when you're struggling to breathe... but then you manage to take the deepest, most fulfilling breath of fresh air. You feel the burn from the struggle, but it's also blissful.
One of the finest bands and singer/songwriters that has been on this show. It's to our good fortune they found each other. Why they aren't much more widely known is beyond me.
Mandolin Orange!!!!!!!!! I love them so much. So many great songs and killer albums that you can just play without having to skip the ones that are kinda lame, because every single song on the whole album is smooth like butter and it just melts into the next one. kinda like their harmonies

What does that have to do with this band and performance? Weird
Really? I just want to make sure @nprmusic actually said this.
"Queerphobic industry" So we just making up random stuff still, I see. Lol
People are going to be mad about this.
Spero che vi piacciano
This is my 76 year old father's current favorite band. "Remember when you played that Mandolin Orange song for me, well I found them on UA-cam. I watched the Small Office Concert. I am listening to all their music......"
This warms my heart ❤️ thanks for sharing
@@gravesx000 I bought him their first and latest albums for father's day. He was excited to see all songs he has watched them play.
Small office concert :) that's what my dad would have called it lol he always uses functional equivalents.
They are the BEST people in real life, off stage!! i LOVE them!!
Too cute
The sounds that woman can coax out of a violin are unreal. Her solos in Golden Embers made my spine tingle.
Gorgeous girl too
I thought the same thing! I had to stop and rewind to hear those tones in that solo again.
Same...really got my attention
@@scotcherton She has mastered the instrument she made the long journey from violin to fiddle!
Her violin and fiddle skills are something special for sure. Their music has helped me at my most hopeless moments.
a campfire in the woods, a comfy chair, and some good beer with this playing in the background is in my future.......
We do that ALL THE TIME here in Eastern, Tennessee!!!
Sounds beautiful my friend, take care.
Sounds like a pain dragging a comfy chair into the woods but ok.
You know how to live my friend!
You can’t convince me these aren’t two of the most talented musicians that currently exist
"we don't speak of it. We don't even try"
Mandolin Orange finally on Tiny Desk? This is a great day.
I've been waiting for this day for so long
@@B0BBARKER444 Me too!!!!

Anyone looking for them in 2023, the band is now called Watchhouse
Music is the greatest expression of human existence.
Hmmm. and I thought Trump was!
That!
@matt Harvey this video has aged much much better than your comment
Too right it is
AGREED!!😊❤
I didn't know 🍊Mandolin Orange before I ran across this video, and I can say for me it's the discovery of the year when it comes to music.
Sheldon Hofstadter enjoy the ride! They’re a gem :)
Check out the audiotree video of them. Fantastic cover of Boots of Spanish Leather.
@@bryansmith1343 Thanks - I already saw it and yes, it's fantastic.
Go see them live if you can! It’s an experience
@@cms8723 If they come to Prague, CZ, I of course will.

Yes there song ships sail away made me cry while cruising through a park not because of sadness but tears of hearing beautiful music and seeing God's beautiful nature
absolutely
100%
Emily’s fiddle feel is incredible
Wildfire is one of those songs that grabs you, gets deep inside and just stays there. So comforting.
comforting is not the word I'd use it makes you face that time full frontal... and that's what I love about this song
The obligatory paying respect to the incredible sound engineers at Tiny Desk comment

All this with a single mic. I’ll also give kudos to the musicians for their positioning and volume. Everything came out perfect.

More proof that NPR gets it. Any genre, anytime...NPR just knows like an Oracle over all things music.
even if they're years and years behind
Tiny Desk is the best thing to happen in music for me in a long time. Taste, heart, talent, spontaneity . . .
Well said sir..Damien Marley, Appalachia Rising, to latest Coldplay...off the charts every set

Only just discovered this band a couple of weeks back. It's like tripping over a gold nugget! What a find!
Me too. I just took up playing Mandolin and they obviously came up quickly in my studies. Just awesome.
To NPR: massive thanks for hosting one of my all time favorite bands (and so many others), Tiny Desk deserves a spot on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list.

They're so perfectly in sync with each other, it's really something. True musicianship is a glorious thing.
If you think they’re in sync, you should watch The Civil Wars… the most insane chemistry I’ve seen, and absolutely wonderful folk/dark romantic duo.
For a while, now they can't stand each other
@@daddosmith8745watchtower or the civil wars?
Wildfire.... just don’t want that song to end. They speak some truth right there. Amazing.
The way she plays just drives me wild. Feeling every note, every movement. They are just so pure in their way. It's truly beautiful
Her violin is an extension of her soul and this is how the music is to the musician 🎶
So pure is right! I come back to this video many times.
Teaching my 4yo daughter about feeling music and having tingles when it hits you just right. What a prime example of this. Top 3 tiny desks for sure!
How beautiful!
Tiny Desk over here rewarding my insomnia with one of my favorite bands.. ok, thanks enablers
#goldenEraOfMusicProblems
Literally same
girl, literally same same
Nice to scroll down the comment section and actually see real people. Not fakery.
straight up but for me its a Sunday night quarantine wine addiction .. same same but different
The warmth of the music, harmonies and the sheer joy they show playing together, makes you feel you are watching something magical unfold. One of the finest acts around today, long may they continue.
I'm very surprised that this comment dont have more likes. Very well put.👌
I agree
that wildfire song was something else
beautiful song
it really is , should be more know !
I wish there was a "LOVE" button. I love this.
Mad credit goes to the sound engineer on this (and many other) Tiny Desk recording. They're all good but this one is especially exquisite - that person deserves a raise on the strength of this recording alone.
Loved it but it was about two hours short
It should've been different, it could've been easy...
4:50 "This is my reminder to smile during this thing *smiles*. I get so serious sometimes. *back to serious face*".
This rendition of The Wolves is one of the most beautiful thing I ever heard.
Every time there's a Tiny Desk Concert I think how glad I am to have found this channel
foreal. so good
Wildfire is an amazing song and resonates with us Southerners raised without the hate that blankets our countryside.

Been a loyal Emily and Andrew fan for more than 11 years now. Being there from 1st time live MO at the Local 506

Dan. P. This side of Jordan is my first buy, thanks for sharing. I look forward to enjoying each album in its turn.
Rick Peterson Be sure to check out their version of Boots of Spanish Leather. It’s so perfectly done, better than the original.
This Side of Jordan is an absolute killer of an album. Waltz About Whiskey is one of my top 5 all time favorite songs
How magical would our world be if all couples shared the joy radiated by these lovely folk?
Been waiting for this for years. If people were as vulnerable with their lives as Andrew and Emily, Earth would be such a better place
Luv this comment : )
The timbre of their voices on top of their instruments gives me goosebumps. Thanks to my brother for sharing this tonight.
Thank you NPR for inviting them and thank you Mandolin Orange for accepting...but I need this to be about an hour or two longer.
